Get To Know Our Brands

Wells Vehicle Electronics is the parent company of several leading automotive brands including Wells Engineered Products.

Our History

A Legacy Of Quality And Innovation

In 1903, during the earliest days of automobile mass production, Robert Wells established Wells Vehicle Electronics to meet the fast-growing auto industry’s need for accurate and reliable electrical components. Working alongside early automobile innovators like Henry Ford and his Ford Motor Company, Wells became a pioneer in the design, engineering and manufacturing of these parts.

As a founding member of the Automotive Warehouse Distributors Association in 1947, Wells played an instrumental role in creating a network dedicated to serving the needs of the motor vehicle aftermarket. We’ve always understood that customers are looking for innovative, high-quality components that meet the strict requirements of not only today’s vehicles, but tomorrow’s as well.

In 2015, Wells was acquired by Niterra Co., LTD, makers of spark plugs for virtually every automotive, motorcycle, marine and small engine application. In 2020, we introduced Wells Engineered Products to our brand family and continue to seek ways to expand our reach in the auto-parts industry.
